Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and baking powder. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, beat the brown sugar and eggs together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the mashed bananas to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Slowly pour in the canola oil and milk, mixing continuously until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat the cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar to the bowl, continuing to beat until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Once the muffins have completely cooled, generously spread the peanut butter icing over the top of each muffin using a knife or icing spatula.
- Optionally, you can decorate the iced muffins with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts or banana slices for an extra touch.
- Your banana muffins with peanut butter icing are ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Tips:
- Ensure the bananas are fully ripe for maximum flavor and sweetness.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining to prevent overmixing, which can result in dense muffins.
- Fill muffin tins about two-thirds full to allow room for the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely before icing them to prevent the icing from melting.
- For extra flair, garnish the iced muffins with crushed peanuts or banana slices.
